Soup Contest

This year's reigning Queen of Soups mentioned to me the other day that there'd been no post about the Soup Contest on the blog. That's right, though some photos had been posted, I guess a full and accurate account of the event has never been entered. I think the Queen of Soups wants more publicity.....

What I think this calls for, however, is a summary of how it went this year, how it went last year, and how things go in general and on a regular and full time basis....out in the world at large.

Last year, the winner worked really, really, really hard to secure the prestigious title of Soup Queen. But alas, last year's winner is a brunette......typical ole ho-hum, brown hair. So, as she was always accustomed to doing, she had to work for her place....none of this PRETTY stuff. She spun and wove tales of what the Wonderful Black Bean Soup could do. She made a bumper sticker. She ran a never-ending publicity campaign. She worked til the Crack 0' Dawn making bribes. It all worked! But it WAS work, even aside from making the Wonderful Black Bean Soup.

This year, however, the winner, who is a BLOND, used a different tactic. Being a blond, she's known all her life that PRETTY works. So there was no advertizing campaign for her soup. There were no fantastic claims or bribes. The soup WAS good, really good. And healthy. But the selling point for this soup was that it looked PRETTY. And so, even without all the campaigning and selling of this soup prior to the Soup Contest, this soup won anyway. Our present Queen of Soups just showed up....with soup....and won.

So there you have it. Blonds go for pretty cause they know it works; all others know they must work for their crowns. And so it goes in the wider world as well.
